Our day today...

What a strange day today has been. Living in a new city is weird.

We started our day at Founding Farmers. Possibly the best restaurant we have ever been to. According to Kenneth they have the best french toast in the entire world. Everything we have had there has been pretty amazing. They make it all with fresh local ingredients, so it has to be good for you to, right?



After we ate breakfast we walked down to the White House. That's right. They're on the same street. Weird, eh?


The outside of the White House is pretty cool. There are people everywhere - including people actually soap boxing. I have never seen that before.

We then left downtown, drove 10 minutes to Silver Spring - the town right next to ours. We went to the Farmers Market and weekend street festival. They even had an awesome jazz combo playing.


We have really loved our town, Takoma Park, as well as our little neighbor city Silver Spring. They have festivals and free concerts all the time. It's pretty cool.

Of course, we left the farmers market early so that we could go see a movie...


Do you see what I mean about it being a weird day?

116 Hours....

Finally posting on my blog! It has been awhile. A lot has happened.. You might think I am going to blog about our move to DC. Maybe my new awesome job, or Kenneth's cool position at the Smithsonian. Perhaps our 3 week long trip to Utah?

Nope.


I am going to blog about something even more important.

I just finished listening to all 7 Harry Potter books on audio (over the course of several months of course).

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

Of course this means that I have spent exactly 116 hours listening to the audio of books that I have already read (more than once). I am guessing this is the point that you all remove me from your google readers because I am such a geek? Thats okay I guess. Real friends love Harry Potter too.

Trust me on this one –doing dishes and folding laundry are WAY more fun when you are listening to the tri-wizard tournament.

Now how am I going to do my work?


Seriously.



*I guess if you stick around I will probably post about that other stuff too....
